Optimal scheduling for coordination renewable energy and electric vehicles consumption

The massive penetration of electric vehicles may lead to strong grid impacts, especially on the distribution grid. The Solar Mobility concept aims to resolve this situation using photovoltaic systems for recharging the vehicles. Key element for solar mobility is the energy management system, which minimizes the grid impact and maximizes the solar coverage during charging process. This paper presents the practical experience achieved with the operation of ten electrified vehicles and solar station during two years. The optimal load scheduling problem of electric vehicles will be presented. It is shown how the Energy Management System provides significant improvement of solar coverage and grid impact thought the demonstration period.
